A bunch of Anemone blanda AKA Grecian windflowers some just breaking bud others deep blue where freshly opened and some a paler blue as they age gracefully.

Golden sunset over Downhill Beach, looking west towards County Donegal. The sun sits low on the horizon behind a dark, rolling headland, casting a vivid golden glow across the sky. Heavy, textured clouds hang overhead, their undersides lit amber and gold. Wet sand in the foreground mirrors the light in long, rippled reflections, while waves roll in from the right, catching flashes of sunlight along their crests. The overall mood is dramatic and luminous, with strong contrasts between shadowed clouds and the glowing horizon.

Goodnight everyone. Wishing you all a peaceful rest of your day. Spare a thought for those who cannot have that peace. Take care of yourselves. #photography #Sunset #Ireland #Stunday #EastCoastKin

A purple and white striped crocous flower  facing sideways with yellow pollen laden anthers in the center in my garden. A single grassy green leaf with a stripe of white in the middle is top left of the flower.  Brown soil forms the background.
